Does Export Quality Influence Firms' Export Volatility-Empirical Evidences in Financial Crisis Period LI Xiao-ping, DAI Zhi-hui 2018 (06):  1-14.  Abstract ( 263 )   PDF (5863KB) ( 818 )   When studying the economic effect of export quality, literatures focus on "the puzzle of China's trade growth", while insufficient attention has been paid to trade volatility under crisis impact. Based on China customs trade data and industrial enterprises data from 2006 to 2011, this paper adopts a mediation effect model to investigate influences of export quality on export volatility and the action mechanism during the period of financial crisis. It is found that enterprise's export quality negatively affects export volatility during financial crisis, and higher export quality is associated with less export volatility. Income effect of the demand side and diversification effect of the supply side are important channels, via which relatively high export quality suppresses export volatility, and approximately account for 1/2 of the suppression effect.An enterprise with relatively high export quality inhibits export volatility due to a relatively high consumption proportion of a higher-income country, relatively low demand volatility and relatively low market concentration. However, high export quality of enterprises within high-tech industries is related with higher export volatility, since the relatively high demand volatility of the product category during the financial crisis period aggravates export volatility. The conclusion provides theoretical and empirical supports for the trade strategy of "high-quality development" and "structural adjustment for stable growth" under China's new economic normal.

Can FTA Promote Export Diversification-Empirical Analysis Based on Chinese FTA YU Zhen, ZHOU Bing-hui 2018 (06):  15-25.  Abstract ( 257 )   PDF (2434KB) ( 781 )   Based on the heterogeneous firms model under the monopolistic competitive conditions established by Melitz & Helpman, this paper analyzes the influence mechanism of FTA on Chinese export diversification. Then the paper verifies the impact mechanism by using China's HS-6-digit export product panel data from the 17 countries covered by Chinese trade preferential policy in 2005-2014. The results indicate that the FTA signed by China can promote Chinese export diversification to a certain extent, but there are significant national differences in the promotion effect. Only when the partner country is a developing country will the implementation of FTA promote the export diversification, and a 1% reduction in tariffs in developing countries will lead to an increase of 0.061% in the number of export commodities. In addition, the improve of the Chinese relative TFP, the growth of the agreement countries' GDP, the increase of the relative price level of the agreement countries, the narrowing of differences in the political systems and the reduction in transportation costs will also promote Chinese export diversification. In summary, we should take the "the Belt and Road" as an opportunity to promote the process of signing trade preferences with neighboring countries, further enhance Chinese export diversification and promote the upgrading of Chinese trade structure.

The investigation over the relationship between investment environment and inward foreign direct investment (INFDI) is of great significance to the construction of the "Maritime Silk Road". In this paper, the five major economies in the Trans-Himalaya region are sampled, of which financial, economic, political, and overall investment environment index are estimated based on the PRRG Group's ICRG data, and the empirical analyses on the impact of the investment environment over INFDI are conducted bases on the investment environment index estimations. The analyses show that (1) the financial, economic and over investment environments in Trans-Himalaya region are improving and integrating regionally, but (2) the political investment environment has been even deteriorating, and the political differences among countries are huge. And the empirical results manifest that (3) in trans-Himalayas region, the impacting channels of investment environment on INFDI exist, but(4) the operational mechanism between the investment environment indicators and INFDI has not yet been functional well. The analysis findings of this paper are conducive to recognizing and managing investment risks in the region, and inspiring for host governments in the region to lay out policies in promoting INFDI.
